Cell Organelles
This part of the cell is found only in eukaryotic cells and contains all of cell's DNA.
What is the nucleus?
This type of membrane transport does NOT require energy.
What is passive transport?
This is an example of an organism that is a prokaryote.
What are bacteria?
These are the four classes of macromolecules in living things.
What are proteins, lipids, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates?
This term means change in populations or species over time.
What is evolution?
This cell part is where proteins are made and is found in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
What is the ribosome?
This term means that the solution OUTSIDE the cell contains MORE solute than inside the cell.
BONUS: what happens to the cell in this environment?
What is hypertonic?
The cell will lose water and shrivel.
This is one statement found in cell theory.
What is:
-all living things are made of cells
-new cells must come from pre-existing cells
-cells are the basic unit of structure and function in living things
The purpose of this type of protein is to speed up chemical reactions. They are extremely sensitive to temperature and pH and are known to denature in extremely high temperatures.
What are enzymes?
This is another term for "survival of the fittest," where the organisms in a population with the traits that are best adapted to their environment will survive and reproduce.
What is natural selection?
These TWO organelles is found only in plants.
What are chloroplasts, cell wall, and large central vacuole?
There THREE macromolecules are found in the structure of the cell membrane. (Hint: what is the membrane made of?)
What are phospholipids, proteins, carbohydrates, cholesterol, etc.
This term means the stable internal conditions inside of a living thing or a cell.
What is homeostasis?
These are preserved tissue of extinct organisms found in rocks. They are a tool for scientists used in classification, naming, and figuring out the evolutionary history of organisms.
What are fossils?
These are TWO unique properties of water.
What is universal solvent, less dense as a solid, high specific heat, polar, etc.
This part of the cell can be either rough or smooth, and is responsible for transporting proteins made by the ribosomes.
What is the endoplasmic reticulum?
During facilitated diffusion, large molecules use this structure in the cell membrane to help them get across, similar to a bridge.
What are protein channels?
This is one difference between viruses and living cells.
What is...
Viruses are not alive and cannot reproduce without a host.
These are TWO steps in the carbon cycle.
What are combustion, fossilization, respiration, factories/emissions, photosynthesis, etc.
This term refers to the maximum number of individuals that a population can hold and support before it starts to decline.
What is carrying capacity?
This part of the cell digests waste and old cell parts.
What is the lysosome?
This is an example of active transport.
What is molecular pumps, endocytosis, exocytosis?
This is the formula for photosynthesis.
What is:
Water + carbon dioxide + light -> oxygen + glucose
This is the classification level that comes after family and before species in our hierarchy of classification developed by Carolus Linnaeus. This is the first word in a two-part species name.
What is genus?
This living thing is MOST important for the nitrogen cycle.
What are bacteria?
